To be useful every transformer has a "run" method of some kind. For a hypothetical IO transformer it would look like runIOT :: Monad m => IOT m a -> m a ...which is basically the same as unsafePerformIO and defeats the purpose of having an IO Monad at all. If you want to retain the IO-type in the result, then you don't need IOT at all, layering any transformer on top of IO is exactly what's needed.
